EGR 218 Engineering Thermodynamics
This course will provide a fundamental grounding in the principles and methods of classical engineering thermodynamics, with an emphasis on practical applications through analytical problem formulation and solving. Topics to be covered include heat, work, kinetic theory of gases, thermodynamics systems and equations of state, the four laws of thermodynamics, energy availability, reversible and irreversible processes, control volumes, phase change and multiphase systems, steam quality and superheating, and an introduction to the basic operation of thermodynamic power cycles.
